Dynamic IP Address Connection for WAN
A
Dynamic
IP
Address
connection
configures
Router to automatically obtain
its global IP address from a
DHCP server on the ISP's
network. The service provider
assigns a global IP address from
a pool of addresses available to
the service provider. Typically
the IP address assigned has a
long lease time, so it will likely
be the same address each time
the Router requests an IP
address.
To configure a Dynamic IP
Address connection, perform
the steps listed below. Some of
the settings do not need to be
changed the first time the
device is set up, but can be
changed later if you choose. See
the table below for a description
of all the settings available in
this menu.
1. Choose the RFC2684Bridged option from the click-boxes beside the WAN Type field.
2. Under the VPI/VCI at the top of the menu should not be changed unless you have been instructed to change
them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned for your
account. Leave the PVC Number setting at the default (Pcv0) values for now. This can be used later if you are
configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service.
3. Under the Connection Type field, you can choose from Pure Bridged, Static IP, or DHCP from the click-
boxes. This defines both the connection type used for your ADSL service. These instructions are for the DHCP
(Dynamic IP Address assignment from your ISP) option. The other options are discussed below. The menu will
change entry fields to allow the entry of the necessary information based upon your selection.
4. In the Encap. field, you can choose LLC or VcMux as the encapsulation type by clicking the click-box beside
the Encap. field − as instructed by your ISP..
5. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
